Global Forum on Innovation in Health Professional Education
Taking inspiration from the 2010 Institute of Medicine (IOM) report, The Future of Nursing and the 2010 Lancet Commission report on interdependent health professional education for the 21st century, the IOM Global Forum on Innovation in Health Professional Education aims to apply an ongoing, multi-national, multi-disciplinary approach to exploring promising innovations in health education. The Forum brings together stakeholders from a variety of disciplines and sectors to engage in dialogue and discussion to illuminate contemporary issues in health professional education. Further, the Forum will provide an ongoing, innovative mechanism to cultivate new ideas through global, multi-disciplinary collaboratives, which represent formal partnerships between university-based health institutions that are undertaking recommendations put forward in either the 2010 Lancet Commission report or the Future of Nursing report. The four innovation collaboratives are located in Canada, India, South Africa, and Uganda.
